CULINARY ATTACHMENT FOR HEATlNG-STOVES.

SPECIFICATION- forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,399, dated May 31, 1881. Application filed October 21, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAFEW S. VAN BUREN,

of West Troy, county of Albany, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Culinary Attachments to Heating-Stoves, of which the folloning is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in' produced in that part of the latter which is expanded around the magazine, so that a vessel placed in the top will be heated by the gases and flame passing to and through the flues, as well as by upward radiation from the tire below 5 and the recess-wall will be heated by the annular flue surrounding the magazine, and between it and the recess.

Myinvention also consists in combining, with a boiler-hole top placed over the vertical flues of the stove, and extended inwardly over the combustion chamber by means of a recess formed in the latter, a supplemental cover, constructed to swing in and out over the top, horizontally in a plane parallel to the top, by means of a pivoted connection made with the top, and the pivot on the top working in a slotted opening in the cover, so that the latter, after having been swung in over the top, may slide into the recess, and not project beyond the edge of the top.

Accompanying this specification, and forming a part of it, are two plates of drawings, containing four figures illustrating my invention, and in all of them the same designation of parts by letter-reference is employed.

Figure 1 shows, in perspective, a rear view of the upper portion of the flue-inclosure of a parlor-stove separated from the stove, showing a recess curved in the combustion-chamber wall, and a boiler-hole top, which is over the vertical fiues, extended into the recess and joining its wall, and that portion of the combastion-chamber wall which is adjacent to the recess. It also shows a pivoted cover having a slot formed in an offset on its edge, and a headed pin upon the boiler-hole-flue top. This illustration also shows the position of the exitpipe collar and the flanges by which the parts are attached to a stove of the usual contour. Fig. 2 illustrates, in perspective, a view of the same apparatus turned around, so that what is shown as the frontin Fig. 1 is the back part in this. This illustration shows the recess formed in the combustion-chamber and its union with the adjacent walls of the latter, as well as the top of the-fines containing the boiler-hole. It shows these parts so constructed that when applied to the stove aportion of the boiler-hole top would be over the fire, and the vertical wall of the recess would form the wall of that portion of the combustion-chamber between the magazine and the recess.

This view shows the opening and upper end of the descending flue over which the boiler-hole top is placed. It also shows the direct draftflue, and the longitudinal partition dividing the flues beneath the boiler-hole top vertically, also the position of the supplemental cover when swung in. Fig. 3 illustrates a longitudinal vertical section taken through the top and recess on theliue g y of Fig. 2, and a stove outline in section with the apparatus attached, the usual pot-hole cover and the supplemental cover being omitted. Fig. 4 represents a view of the vertical position of the recess and adjacent portions of the combustion -cliamber wall, taken on the line 2 z of Fig.1.

The several parts of the attachment are designated by letter-reference, and described as follows:

The letters A A indicate the boiler-hole top, in which an opening is made to receive a culinary vessel. This top plate coversthe upper end of the descending vertical flue D, as well as that of the direct draft-flue D, the latter being separated from the former by means of the vertical division-plate d.

Portions of the combustion-chamber wall are indicated at P P, and as having the usual contour of the stove, and between them, in vertical continuity, there is formed the curved recess 0, which at its bottom unites with the plate A, as illustrated at Fig. 1, and, as shown when applied to the stove, it projects into the combustion-chamber, so as to be in part over the fire and the wall of the recess, as forming the vertical wall of that portion of the combustionchamber which is between the recess and the magazine, and in this respect dilfering widely from older structures for a similar purpose, in which a boiler-hole top was intruded in over the fire, so as to join themagazine, and so that the wall ofthe latter formed the wall of the recess, or in which the wall of a fuel-chute formed the wall of the recess. In either of these older devices named the wall of the recess was in contact with unignited fuel, while in my improvement the wall of the recess is also a part of the combustion-chamber wall, and is heated by the heat above the fire in that part of the combustion-chamber which is between the recess and the magazine.

The letter E designates the exit-flue to connect with the chimney. With a combined recess and boiler-hole plate thus constructed and arranged the top will be heated by the gases and flame passing through the fines to the exit, whether the direct draft-flue is open or closed, and a portion of the plate will be over the combustion-chamber, so as to be heated by direct vertical radiation from the fire, and the recess will be heated by that portion of the combustioirchamber which is over the fire and between the magazine and the recess, and which requisites of construction in the application of my invention are imperative ones, and to which, as an improvement, it is limited.

The letter L design ates a supplemental cover arranged to swing out horizontally over the boiler-hole top A by means of the headed pivot p on the top, and the slot a, formed in an offset, 0, on the cover, the slot allowing its outward and inward extension, and adapting it,

when swung in, to slide into the recess so as to not project beyond the edge of the top. It furnishes a very convenient device, as constructed and arranged, on which to place a eulinary vessel when removed from the boilerhole top. This device is onlya part of my invention, when combined with the slot and, pivotal connection, by which it can he slid into the recess 0.

The letters W and W indicate the walls of the attachment; I* F, the flanges by which it attaches to correspondiugly-formed parts of the stove; M M, two boiler-hole openings, the larger one, M, being formed in the top, and the smaller one, M, constructed in the cover of the other, so as to reduce its area and receive a smaller cooking-vessel.

I am well aware that there is no invention in constructing a boiler-hole in the top plate over the rear vertical flues of a parlor-stove, and that such a construction is an old method of arrangement, and that my invention herein, in which I use one so applied, is limited to its combination with a recess, the latter being located so as to form by its walls a part of the combustion-chamber wall and connect with a boiler-hole top that is extended into the combustion-chamber, so as to be in part over the latter, as well as over the rear vertical fines of the stove.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut, is-

1. An attachmentfor a parlor magazine-stove, consisting, essentially, ofthe flanges I side and end walls, W W, with exit-flue E and top A, formed with a boiler-hole, substantially as described.

2. The attachment for a parlor magazinestove, constructed substantially as hereinbefore described, and formed with a divisionplate, (I, for the purposes stated.

3. In combination with a magazine parlorstove having a boiler-hole top that is over the rear vertical fines of the stove, and extended inwardly to be in part over the fire by means of the curved recess 0 formed in the combustion-chamber wall, the supplemental horizontally-swinging cover L, arranged to swing in and slide over the boiler-hole top and slide in and out of the recess by means of the headed pivotal pin 1) on the boiler-hole top, and the slot a, formed in the offset O of the cover, as shown and described.

4. In a parlor magazine-stove, the combination of the culinary attachment, constructed substantially as hereiubefore described, and arranged over the rear vertical flues of the stove, the recess O of the attachment being formed in the combustion-chamber wall, with a portion of the combustion-chamber between the recess and the magazine, whereby the recess of the boiler-hole top is extended inwardly, to be in part over the fire, substantially as set forth.

Signed at Troy, New York, this 30th day of August, 1878.
